Today the team at Bespoke Shower Repairs take a look at the top 6 types of shower screen solutions in Melbourne for you to consider. But first, we take a look at the signs that show you it’s time to upgrade that shower screen.
Do you need to update your shower screen?
Your bathroom is a place of sanctuary within your home. It should offer both a comfortable and relaxing experience, whilst also adding value to your dream home. If your bathroom is offering you neither of these, it’s time for you to upgrade.
Here are 4 top tell-tale signs it’s time to upgrade your shower screen:
1. Your shower screen is difficult to clean.
Over the years, mildew and mould can grow in the cracks within the glassware and tiling of your bathroom making it challenging to clean. When choosing a new shower screen, consider getting a screen with a hydrophobic coating, a special layer that repels water and prevents the build-up of scum.
2. You want a relaxed shower experience.
If you enjoy having long hot showers, you’ll know the value of a calming relaxing experience. You can improve your showering experience by investing in a new shower screen, especially if you currently have a shower curtain arrangement.
3. Your shower screen is damaged.
A damaged shower screen is an unsafe shower screen. The primary purpose of a shower screen is to provide the user with a safe showering space.
4. Your shower screen is not adding value to your home.
If your shower screen is old and outdated, it could be impacting the value of your home. If you’re looking at putting your property on the market anytime soon it’s a great investment to update your shower screens as bathrooms are a major selling point.
What are the top 6 types of shower screens used in Melbourne?
· Framed shower screens.
Framed shower screens are a common shower screen solution in busy households across Australia. A framed shower screen consists of a combination of aluminium frames, glass, rollers and hinges. Primarily these framed shower screens come in silver, although you can get them in a vast range of colours to match your bathroom fixtures. Framed shower screens are considered one of the strongest shower screen options but may look out of place in design when it comes to the modern bathroom.
· Semi-framed shower screens.
Semi-framed shower screens are shower the same as framed shower screens, but with a discreet minimalistic frame. They offer the strength of a framed shower screen with a more modern approach to design. Semi-framed shower screens are a good solution for you if you’re looking for a durable, stylish shower screen finish. A great solution for busy family bathrooms.
· Frameless shower screens.
If you’re looking for a sleek minimalistic shower screen design, a frameless shower screen is a solution for you. A frameless shower screen is simple in design, highlighting the beauty of the shower screen glass and supported by minimal hardware. A frameless shower screen is a favourable choice when it comes to smaller bathrooms where space is limited.
· Sliding door shower screens.
When it comes to shower screen design, a sliding shower screen door is a good option for the space-conscious. Whilst sliding shower screens offer the same space as closed enclosures the door does not require additional space to open. Sliding shower screen doors are a practical shower screen solution for smaller bathrooms.
· Pivoting door shower screens.
Also known as a traditional shower screen door, the pivoting shower screen door rotates in an outward motion and is suitable for bathrooms with space. Pivoting shower screen doors are available in a variety of framed and semi-framed designs, a popular option for family bathrooms with lots of traffic.
· Fixed panel shower screens.
Known as a luxury shower screen option, a simple fixed shower screen is minimalistic in design with no moving parts. A fixed shower screen can generally be found in properties with larger bathrooms.
